All,

A good mate of mine who is a civvy fulltime Firefighter is thinking of joining the RauxAF, would he be able to doing firefighting as a reserve and if so which would be the best sqd to join or would he not be able to be a firefighter at all and would have to do some other trade.

Many thanks
Tom
 
Most brigades have a policy on reserve service. He should contact his HR dept with all the details. I know of a fair few firefighters who serve as reservists in all forces.
 
I know Hampshire have quite a few reservists within the ranks, sorry roles but i am not sure if there are any positions as reservist firefighter, i will ask a colleague when next on shift Thursday and get back to you, although as Firestorm says, check with recruiting office.

Thanks for the info, my mate is looking into joining and now doing another trade.
 
RAF firefighters generally retire as a Cat e reserve, meaning, in lay terms, that there is no strategic reason to maintain a reserve force.
